Forgot to add these last weekend!

Neil and I went to Camps Bay on Friday evening, calling in at the Sand Bar for a cocktail first before going to dinner at Kove. It was an absolutely perfect evening ('divine'), our new babysitter said, and we even got there in time to watch the sunset.

On Saturday we escaped the heat by taking the girls to the movies - Lottie had been invited to a party anyway, and Libby invited Stella to come with us to see Tangled. An air-conditioned cinema was just the place to spend a couple of hours. We got home by late afternoon and all jumped in the pool.

Today we drove to Kalk Bay to walk in the mountains above the coast. We walked up through Echo Valley to the Amphitheatre - quite strenuous in the heat. Later we had fish and chips at Lucky Fish in Kalk Bay harbour and again watched the seals. What a contrast to last time we were there when it was blowing a gale. So far this month we've had amazing weather - despite it being lovely in much of November and December, January and February are proving incredible.
